Lalo's shrimp is fairly good - they are not overcooked, which is the norm in Ixtapa. Prices are comparable to other restaurants. No ambience to the place, only tables set up in walking passage way with no awnings, umbrellas or decor. Service was average to slow with the waiters hovering about your table making it a bit awkward to converse... More

Lalo's was recommended to our group and we tried it our first night in Ixtapa. We had the Keke's shrimp and the Garlic Shrimp. I have to say it was the most delicious shrimp I have ever eaten. Yes, the restaurant has you dining in the open, but that is one of the charm's of Mexico in my opinion. Will... More

The setting for this restaurant is a little disconcerting - you are eating in the street under a cheap awning, and there's not much shade during the day. Nighttime is understandably the busiest time for this eatery. The menu was extensive - if you can't find something to your taste on there, you have a serious problem. What I liked... More

We enjoyed the food so much the first time we went back for another evening. Jorge was our waiter and does an excellent job. The manager is also very friendly. The first night we had the Lalo's Shrimp I'd highly recommend. The second night we had the shrimp and lobster combo. Overall, good food, good prices and good service. Don't... More

We spend most of the winter in Ix. This is the only place that made us sick. We are very careful where and what we eat. We made a mistake with Lalo's. The service is ok, the price is ok but who cares if you are going to spend the next two days in bed.

I was so disappointed when I went to the Blue Shrimp only to find that my friend Lalo was not there... what happened I wondered? We made our way down the plaza and smacked right into him and his new restaurant, although he had just opened it and working out a few kinks, the food and staff were awesome....Lalo's shrimps...

Previously Lalo operated the Blue Shrimp Restaurant before getting his own restaurant. My son had the House Fish which is stuffed with shrimp, delicious. My wife had the Tequila Shrimp which are flamed at your table and they were delicious. I had the LaLo Shrimp which were flamed at your table, the sauce is to die for, they were large... More
